Fodor's Expert Review Fairmont Royal Pavilion

Every unit in this luxurious resort has immediate access to 11 acres of tropical gardens and an uninterrupted sea view from a broad balcony or patio. From ground-floor patios, you can step directly onto the sand. In the style of a Barbadian plantation house, the rooms have rich mahogany furniture, local artwork and sisal rugs on tile floors. The resort's traditional personalized service continues on the beach, where beach butlers cater to your every seaside whim. There is also an on-site kids' club. Breakfast and lunch are served alfresco at Taboras Restaurant overlooking the beach; afternoon tea and dinner take place in the exquisite Palm Terrace Restaurant.
